[QUOTE="thecasualoblivion, post: 4551334, member: 59096"] Dwarves Paragon Paths: Dwarven Defender(Fighter)--This is the only PP Dwarves get in this book, and it really isn't earth shattering. You get some push type abilities, and defense boosts to yourself and allies, but overall looks less interesting than Iron Vanguard, Kensei, or Pit Fighter Feats: Fighter--Dwarf Fighters get nice candy (Heroic)Devoted Challenge--This essentially gives you a third at-will attack that deals extra damage equal to your Wis modifier to marked enemies. I can't see why you wouldn't take this feat. (Heroic)Dwarf Stoneblood--Increases temp HP from Battlerager Vigor by 50%. I'm not so sure on this one, it doesn't really scream "take me". (Paragon)Enduring Wallop--Whenever you hit with a Fighter Daily using an Axe, Hammer or Pick, you deal or increase ongoing damage equal to your Con mod. A nice pickup. (Paragon)Stonefoot Reprisal--when an enemy pushes or slides you, you get an opportunity attack that also negates the forced movement. This is pretty good. Feats: Ranger--Just one feat that is decent but very specific (Heroic)Thundertusk Companion--A boar animal companion gains a pile of free HP. Beastmaster Rangers should probably take this.

Feats: Warlord--Why aren't you a Cleric? (Heroic)Bolstering Inspiration--When using Inspiring Word on an adjacent target, give back +Wis to HP or grant a save. Not terribly bad for what it is. (Paragon)Steadfast Tactics--Inspiring Word grants forced movement resistance until end of combat. Neat, but unnecessary. Feats: Any Martial (Epic)Stoneheart Warrior--Second Wind as free action. I don't see the need for this, as Fighters usually have a spare minor action. Halflings Paragon Paths Halfling Bounder(Fighter)--Makes for a very mobile Fighter, and while not powerful, its abilities look fun and interesting. Halfling Quickblade(Rogue)--You'd think this would be better than Daggermaster or Shadow Assasin. You'd be wrong. It basically focuses on hitting first and hitting hard, but isn't really special.
